Find Your Linden Specialist

Hi there! I’m Georgette — a Speech-Language Pathologist based in Tennessee. For education, I earned my Bachelor of Science from Middle Tennessee State University and my Master of Science from Midwestern University. Additionally, I’m nationally certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and licensed in several states, which allows me to work with a wide range of individuals.

‍

Over the years, I’ve gained experience in hospitals, rehab centers, and outpatient clinics, but my true passion lies in working within the education setting. I specialize in the areas of articulation, language development, fluency, and social communication.

‍

My sessions are anything but one-size-fits-all; I bring energy, creativity, and fun into each one through games, music, and giving my clients choices in how they'd like to learn. I truly believe that when therapy feels engaging, meaningful progress follows.

‍

Having gone through speech therapy myself, I understand what it’s like to be in the client’s seat. That experience gives me a deeper sense of empathy and connection with those I work with, as I strive to be a supportive, attentive listener and a compassionate guide.

‍

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and embracing new experiences. Whether I’m traveling, figure skating, or spending time with family and friends, I’m always seeking growth, joy, and a fresh perspective. I’m excited to connect with and support you on this journey toward stronger communication. Let’s work together to make it a positive and meaningful experience!

I’m American and I speak English.

Hi there, I am Georgios! I was born in the magical city of Athens, Greece. I have an M.Sc. in Clinical Developmental Psychology & Parental Counseling from the State University of Padua in Italy. I also have a bachelor's degree in Psychology from the Panteion State University in Athens, and a bachelor's degree in Educational Sciences from the University of Perugia in Italy.

‍

I worked for more than 10 years in the field of social risk prevention. Since 2010, I've worked as a therapist for children and parents. I have been living and working in Berlin since 2015 and have recently moved back to Athens, Greece.

‍

My professional approach is based on active listening and an ongoing exploration of solutions to problems, thoughts, and emotions. I focus on the present and the resources available, without ignoring the impact that the past has on us.

‍

I take on a systemic approach which has its strength in the analysis and exploration of the "system family" and its surroundings. My solution orientation approach also allows for fast relief from heavy symptoms and new pathways in family life.

‍

I specialize in: Anxiety/Depression Reduction, Solutions-Focused Counseling, Life Transitions (i.e., grief/loss, moving abroad, etc.), Trauma/Post-traumatic Stress, Anxiety, Parent Counseling, School-based Interventions, Drug Abuse, Domestic Violence & Abandonment.

‍

I speak fluent Greek, English, Italian, Spanish and German.

Hi! My name is Giada (pronounced JAH-Dah) and I am currently based in Berlin, Germany, after relocating from Italy 7 years ago. My academic journey began at the University of Chieti, where I earned my degree in Occupational Therapy, laying a strong foundation for my career in pediatric care.

‍

In Berlin, I started working at a multidisciplinary clinic specializing in neurology, orthopedics, psychiatry and pediatrics. Here, I gained extensive experience working with children facing a wide range of developmental and neurological challenges. My work primarily involved supporting children with ADHD, autism, rare diseases, Down Syndrome, premature birth complications and concentration disorders. This role allowed me to develop specialized skills in addressing the unique needs of each child, tailoring therapeutic interventions to promote their cognitive, emotional, and motor development.

‍

In these settings, I focused on early intervention and sensory integration, helping children enhance their daily living skills and achieve greater independence. My approach is always child-centered, aiming to empower families and support children in reaching their full potential.

‍

To further deepen my knowledge, I have successfully completed a course in Early Stimulation, which compliments my existing skills and enables me to better serve infants and toddlers at critical stages of their development.

‍

I am fluent in German, Italian, Spanish, and English.

Hi, I’m Greg! I’m an academic coach and musician from New York, and I have a passion for educating and helping others on a global scale. In 2014, I received my bachelor’s degree in music and Russian literature from Columbia University. Thereafter, I worked in San Francisco as an academic coach specializing in math, English, and SAT/ACT test preparation.

‍

During this time, I trained and worked as a peer support volunteer with Holocaust survivors and clients with HIV/AIDS. In 2017, I moved abroad and completed my CELTA, an English language teaching qualification, through the University of Cambridge. Since then, I have freelanced as a teacher in Berlin (playing cello with local ensembles in my spare time) and look forward to continuing to help others thrive through education.

I specialize in:

 
• High school math (IGCSE and IB SL or equivalent)
 
• ACT/SAT prep

I was born in the Netherlands to Polish and American parents, and grew up in Taiwan, the Philippines, and Hong Kong, where I graduated from high school. I speak Polish and English. I graduated from Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis.

In 2023 I became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). In this role, I conducted initial assessments such as the Vineland, VB-MAPP and EFL to identify learners’ strengths and deficits and create socially significant goals related to skill acquisition and maladaptive behavior reduction. Using these goals, I created individualized programs and trained behavior therapists to implement them with fidelity using Behavioral Skills Training.

‍

Hi there! My name is Kat, and I am an occupational therapist (OT). I am a Texas native currently living in Germany since 2019. After living all over the United States, I realized I wanted to experience a different culture and learn a new language, and this led me to Germany.

‍

I hold the following degrees: Clinical Doctorate (OTD) from University of Alabama (UAB) at Birmingham, Master's degree in Occupational Therapy from Texas Woman’s University, and Bachelor’s degree in Business from Texas Tech University. I also completed the Low Vision Rehabilitation Graduate Certification from UAB in 2019 focusing on assessments and interventions related to vision changes from eye disease or neurological causes.

I have over a decade's worth of experience as an OT working in various settings, such as inpatient rehabilitation facilities and outpatient facilities. My experience ranges from working with adults recovering from Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) and Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI), to working with children experiencing developmental delays related to fine or gross motor skills, ADHD, and Autism.

Since living in Germany, my practice has been pediatric focused. Through this work, I fell in love with Montessori and participated in a training program for children in London and Munich. I am a mother myself, so my passion lies in meeting the child where they are, following their lead, and supporting them to improve their autonomy and participation within daily occupations.

Hi, I am Kivi! (Kivilcim Afacan – she/they).

‍

I moved from New York and am currently located in Berlin.

I have always found sciences exciting, and I studied a well-balanced mixture of natural and social sciences before pursuing my PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the City University of New York.

‍

From a young age, I have been inspiring my peers and students of varied ages to get excited about the subjects we are learning. My learning and teaching philosophy has been “it’s actually a lot of fun, if we look at it this way...”. Over the years I observed this curious and playful attitude become a long-term skill for learners to apply in managing challenging situations. As a scientist and educator with experience in different continents, I volunteered with several disadvantaged communities, worked as a full-time professor at a variety of colleges, and supported women and minorities in STEM.

‍

I specialize in Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology (all levels – including AP), SAT prep and general academic support. My lasting interest in the gamification of tasks and challenges is an added bonus for my fellow learning friends and students.

I am from Turkey and I speak English and Turkish. In my free time, I like playing the piano, jogging, experimenting with cooking, making clay sculptures, and doing acro-yoga.
